TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

nirinsanity A brilliantly made time travel sci-fi film in Tamil. The most incredible part of the film is the amount of attention to detail, the makers have given. It deserves much, much more praise than it currently has. The visual effects, though minimal, are beautiful eye candy. I'd say they are at par, if not better than the effects in Enthiran. Several sub-plots of the film pay homage to Hollywood time travel films.The film would do good to become a cult in Tamil cinema. It should serve as an inspiration to upcoming directors. A well done film amidst other monotonous films currently being released in the Tamil film industry. Hopefully, other well established directors such as Shankar would take a note to establish better stories in his films from this one. Just incredibly brilliant! We'd like more films like this! Kudos, R. Ravi Kumar!

kousiktn I think this is the best Tamil movie I've seen in recent times. There was no stupidity that is usually associated with Tamil Sci-Fi movies. The plot is just mind boggling and ends in an awesome manner.I've seen a lot of Tamil movies with happy ending, but the happy ending would be so obvious. But this is the only movie where the happy ending makes sense.Also credit really goes to the crew as well. The actors are great and poised, Direction and comedy sense are perfect and no extra use of Tamil songs. Background score though not out of the world, suits the film.Overall, this ranks among the best Tamil films I've seen in my life.

Bharanidaran ramani Directors today sway in two extremes, complete blockbuster plot with zero story and intense moments which would put you to sleep. It is very hard to strike a balance in this competitive market. But this movie is a very bold in mixing the two concepts and giving a real treat to the eyes Granted, the title tells you its a sci-fi flick, that doesn't mean it is just convoluted and the audience has to immerse to understand. It has been explained in a very simple and clear manner, kudos for the director for that.Actors: Needless to say, script is only as good as the actors and the acting skills of the leads do not disappoint you at all. Its a A-game performance from the trinity of Indian cinema (Hero, Heroine, Villain). From the premise till the end nobody lets you down. They have done justification to their roles and at the same time has not gone over the top. Again, its the director's conditioning that makes such magic.Karunakaran, for the guy he has been portrayed does not drag the screenplay with stupid questions at all. In fact, the questions he ask will make you understand the movie much better, a perfect use of the second fiddle. Also the comedy relief in the movie was just the right duration. Too much of it would have been irritable and too less would have gone unnoticed. Just the right amount of flavor.Movies such as this just end without dime or reason, here the director sets up the premise and ends it at the right pace, which is commendable. Does he solve all the mystery? yes. Is the reasons believable? Yes. so what more could you ask for in a sci-fi movie? I have watched the movie "Back to the future" many times and every time i wonder how did they get it so right, heres India's answer to Back To That Future. Just perfect use of Indian cinema sense without giving away the science and technology factor which is a pivotal factor in this movie The only downside of this movie was the songs, i felt it was not needed, but i agree its not a Hollywood movie to do that, but i just hope the director gives many more movies like this rather than just brag about this movie and vanishes from the cinema field.A must-watch fun sci-fi movie which concludes with a simple message as well.

Ananth Christy This movie has such a well constructed core that makes it very simple to watch even though it is a story about time travel. It got me excited to write a review for it. I congratulate and adore the filmmakers who've given the audience(comprising of a wide range of them) such a beautifully scripted narrative, laying out scenes without any hassle.FOR THOSE YET TO WATCH(which I presume would be most), this is going to be something of a treat from the regular movies. Watch it with friends and family. Or you could also choose to watch it alone, to miss those annoying ones who pop questions at every chance the movie slips their intellectual capacity. Time well spent. Talent will be appreciated and a show made to entertain. The characters are kept to the usual numbers with the story revolving around the lead characters(hero, heroine, and comedian/bff). It initially seems to layout an easy narrative for the audience to sink in and then takes us on time travel. Funny scenes and time altering scenarios help the audience understand and revel in the plot. The music by HIPHOP TAMIZHA is a good call. More room to improve even though the BGM and title song were new to common ears, but not to a fan like me. CRITICALLY speaking, its more than what one would call an effort. Its the courage and thoughtfulness to deliver a quality film that I personally feel has respected its graphic/animation/design artists. Kudos to the filmmaker for seeing them through his eyes and for the actors to excel in their characters. Thank you each and every one for not overdoing it! (If you guys read this). This is a movie that has checked in to my favorite-movies-of-all-time list.
